The Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) are part of the international consortium NanoBright, which has developed this new tool. The probe ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

A French startup named Robeauté has just raised about $29 million to develop a truly groundbreaking neurosurgical microrobot. Imagine a device no bigger than a grain of rice that can carefully ...

Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...

To understand the brain better, we need new methods to observe its activity. That is at the heart of a molecular engineering project, spearheaded by two research groups at the European Molecular ...

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating, chronic syndrome that causes sudden, severe, electric shock-like pain in the face, according to a news release from University Hospitals. While TN isn’t ...

To better understand problems in the brain’s blood vessels that may lead to stroke, we need a better way to see them. Cardiovascular imaging can peer inside coronary arteries to spot clots blocking ...

By simply "sprinkling" this probe on top, active synapses will visibly light up so that researchers can clearly observe how living brain cells communicate—all within 10 seconds. This research gives us ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been refining and combining several advanced technologies over the past six years to create a revolutionary platform to treat a ...

To provide a better view of difficult to see tissue, Japanese researchers have miniaturized an imaging probe to fit inside a needle that can be inserted into the eye during eye surgery. The probe was ...
